Amps with meters ...


are just a lot better than amps without meters.

Come to think of it, my Walkman has meters. Switchable between "analog", "digital", and "spectrum analyzer".
Back in the early 80’s I owned a Phase Linear 700mkII which had the coolest looking meters I’ve ever owned.   While I think meters look great, they actually do not represent any facet of music I care about.  

It is sound first and cosmetics second.   But all things being equal, I’d rather have meters than not!
SAE 2400 and 2600 had 2 big a...ss meters that were Awsome. You could set the meter sensitivity as well as the gain through buttons on the front.
